Fire crews and police officials were called at about 6:30 a.m. Tuesday to 6315 Springdale Boulevard near Porter Road in Grand Blanc Township, where police and firefighters tried to rescue a woman in her early 60s, but were unable to enter the home because of the heavy smoke. The fire, which officials said started in the kitchen, killed the woman. It is the township's first fatal fire in about seven or eight years, said fire chief Jim Harmes. Her name was not released.
